Abrne11b New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 4:51 pm Hello everyone. Thank you for reading my post and helping. The other day I decided to coin roll hunt. I came across a coin that at first looked like it had tape on it, until I noticed the shape of a rim implanted on the obverse of the coin. Has anyone seen anything like this and what is it? Any help is appreciated. Thank you again for your time and Happy New Year. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19152 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 5:17 pm Suggest giving the coin a long soak in 100% acetone. If the 'blob' is old gum, dried adhesive, etc, it might remove it. Wouldn't hurt to try, may help narrow down the assessment. Report this Post to the Staff

Abrne11b New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 6:09 pm It is incused. That's why this coin is racking my brain. The material looks like clay. Under the scope it's red and blends in with the coin. One more other detail that would've narrowed the penny. It weighs 2.53 g. My mistake on the incuse. Got a better angle and it looks like a thin layer pressed on the outside. Edited by Abrne11b 01/18/2023 6:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 6:15 pm As mentioned give it a goad overnight soaking in acetone and come back tomorrow (or when ever you finish the soak and post up a new picture just like the one you just put up. lets see what will come off of this.

Abrne11b New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/20/2023 12:35 pm Hello Everyone. Sorry for the wait. Finally got the acetone bath finished with the unknown dated coin. Good call by the way. It took some time, but the date reared itself. The obstruction was a sticker. Learning can make you feel really dumb sometimes. It was a 1984 Philly MM. Thanks again for the help everyone.
